Peter Obi
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has said that he will stop his presidential bid if anyone can come up with proof that he accepted a land gift as a governor of Anambra state.
Newsonline reports that the LP flag bearer stated this during a visit to the palace of the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, in Edo State on Friday.
Welcoming the presidential candidate to his palace, Oba Ewuare II used the opportunity to clarify a viral document where Obi rejected land allocation from the Anambra State Government while he was a serving governor.
Obi said, “Your Excellency, somebody shows me a letter where land was given to you in your state and you politely returned it that you don’t need it; that you are there to serve, and so on. Correct?” the first-class monarch asked.
“Very correct.
“If anybody sees a piece of land allotted to me, my wife, or any of my family members, directly or indirectly when I was governor, I will stop campaigning.”
The Governor of Anambra state, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, on Thursday, said the alleged investment of Peter Obi, in the Anambra state government, is worth next to nothing.
Soludo, who made this assertion in an interview with Channels TV’s Politics Today, said he was not interested in talking about any investments of any of his predecessors, because the one that you talked about (Peter obi) investment was worth next to nothing.
His comment on Obi’s investment came up when asked about his perspective on government investing outside the public sector with reference to Obi as former governor in Anambra, Soludo simply said, “I don’t know about the investment.”
